Aummesh

Aummesh (also sometimes called by scholars Osnabesh) is the language spoken by descendants of immigrants and settlers who came west of the Filija Mountains during the Osnabi campaigns of 312-320 and 325-328 IE, just before the end of the Omban Empire, in the territory now known as Ashnabis. It has around 500,000 speakers in total. Aummesh can be easily recognized by Ombesh speakers as similar, and many words can be picked out, but the two are not inherently mutually intelligible.

There are two main theories on the origins of Aummesh. The first holds that it is essentially a descendant of Ombesh that, simply because of relative isolation, came to diverge in particular ways from its ancestor, so that three hundred years later, it was sufficiently different as to be not quite mutually intelligible. Another theory holds, in contrast, that Aummesh is a kind of creole or mixed language that emerged out of the new social setting following the Osnabi campaigns, whereby speakers of various indigenous languages adopted Ombesh as a second language and thereby modified it. In recent years, Aummesh has been influenced by modern Ombesh in Kaskind and adjacent areas where Ombesh speakers are now in the majority.
